ETHAN I sat in bed, watching as Leander sat on the sofa, typing away on his laptop. My brows furrowed. What exactly was he doing? Did he not realize the reason I came to his room?Though the thought had been impulsive earlier, the moment I saw Leander going, I'd thought about the marks I wanted to show Vesper the next day. Leander was a good choice. With him, I wouldn't have to harm myself, and the plan would be even smoother. Wasn't that great?But there he was, sitting far away and working even though it was almost midnight, time for normal people to sleep. I frowned, feeling displeased and impatient. I stood up and approached him. Leander's fingers paused. "You're still awake?" My steps faltered, and I almost lost my footing. Really? He had no idea I was still awake?I bit my tongue and forcefully suppressed my anger. "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" Planning to leave me in bed while he worked. Was he trying to avoid me? He didn't go further last night either. What exac

ETHANThe alarm rang loudly in the room. Stretching my hand, I swiped it off. RING~~~~~It came again. I hissed and turned the phone over. It automatically stopped. Finally regaining a peaceful moment, I shifted closer into the warm and firm embrace and resumed sleeping. "Ethan." A deep and magnetic voice called. The call was distant, yet it rang really close to my ears.I frowned and nestled deeper into the embrace. It was so comfortable. "Ethan? It's almost morning." The voice came again. I felt displeased. "I know," I replied grudgingly. It wasn't morning, right?Then what was the disturbance all about? But the voice seemed persistent. "Vesper will wake up soon. Your plan." My eyes snapped open. I stood up roughly in bed, almost falling back from the pressure. "Right. You're right." My voice was weak. Blinking, I tried to push back the sleepiness in my eyes. "I should leave." It was more for myself. I picked up my phone to check and realized it was thirty minutes pa

ETHANMy heart raced so fast that I felt Vesper could hear it. My fingers clenched tightly under the blanket. Thoughts ran through my head. What was I supposed to say?How should I convince him?I hadn't thought of a situation like this. Initially, I had been worried that he might not be convinced, so I planned to endure some intimacy but knock him out before he went deeper. However, when I saw through Nick's plan to drug Leander, I felt excited, thinking I should have done that sooner. A drugged person wouldn't remember much, especially after drinking so much that he was almost drunk and sleepy. But it seemed I was wrong. He remembered everything. He even knew he wasn't the one who left the marks. I closed my eyes. Would I really have to divorce him and attack him from the outside? Then, the world would wonder why I did it. They would paint me and call me names. It would be difficult to get closer to Leander, too, as his reputation would also be ruined along with mine. Our we

ETHANStaring at Vesper, who was crying and pleading before me, I had no idea what to think or even say. He placed my hand on his cheek, staring into my eyes as if he were waiting for my response. My lips parted several times, and different words rolled to my tongue. However, each of them wasn't the right thing to say in this situation. What would he do if I told him I hated him? What would he think if I told him I would never love him again in this life?While they were exactly how I felt in my heart, I knew it wasn't the best thing to say in this situation. For my plans, for my revenge, I had to suppress all the blooming rage in my heart. But... it was difficult. My fingers turned cold on his cheek. My lips pressed tightly, unable to utter a word of deceit. Perhaps it was the deep sincerity I saw in his eyes or the deep-set anger in my heart and the urge for revenge; I really couldn't bring myself to deceive him or tell the truth. Vesper leaned closer. "Stay with me, okay?" H
